Perfect place to stay if you are just passing thru. Clean but small room. Dated decor and look to it. Small room if you are planning to spend a significant amount of time in it.

The property is an older motel in need of upkeep. The exhaust fan in the bathroom made a terrible racket. The sink had no light near it making it almost impossible to shave.

Typical dated motel

If you are passing thru and need a cheap motel this is sufficient. Would not recommend staying more than a night. Room is small. Bikers seem to favor this place as lots were staying here.

Clean, basic and great value.

The motel had been updated, and is basic but cute. It was very clean and the price was great. The staff we ran into were friendly. This is a very basic, older place. It was quiet, and clean. The office had coffee in the morning. It wasn't open all the time, but check in and out was easy.

The walls are a bit thin and I could hear the people in the rooms next to me. Parking was tricky since the parking lines were not clearly marked. I was not able to park in front of my room.
